WTF is this "moneyline" bet anyway?
From what I understood from one of the other threads it is how much you have to bet to win $100.

WTF is this "moneyline" bet anyway?
Brad - 5k max on a game. I had to alter your bet

The moneyline is like this, in simplest tersm:

If you see a plus sign on a team, multiply your bet by number following the plus sign used as a percentage. Example: You bet 5000 on the KC moneyline, KC +150. KC Wins (No point spread is involved in moneylines). You win 5000*150% = 7500

If you see a minus sign on a team, divide your bet by the 1/100 of the number following the minus sign. Example: You bet 5000 on the KC moneyline, KC-150 (No point spread is involved). You win 5000/1.5 = 3333 (rounded down).

The nice thing about the moneyline is that no points are involved. The bad thing is that the favorite pays much less than the underdog.

Shame shame..... of all games you screwed up the most important one! :shake:

Hey, I had Denver plus 3.5, but on the website It shows that I took the Chiefs minus the pts. So I don't know where you do your accounting, but I think my total may be off, and should have won 900 on my denver +3.5 bet, so i think there needs to be an additional 1100 to my total?

Doh! I ended up winning... Damn... That wasn't the plan. I submitted a change to my picks on another thread on accident, and then deleted them and got distracted before I remembered to re-submit them on the correct thread.

Hmmm... I'll take advantage of this unexpected new life by dropping the following bets:

5K on Indianapolis (+180)
5K on Indianapolis (+4.5)

As follows:

23,600 to start
-500 for Atl
+500 for Chi
-50 to the house
-500 for AZ
+2778 for KC Money
-278 to the house
+1000 for KC
-100 to the house
+2500 for WAS/PHI over
-250 to the house
+2500 for CLE
-250 to the house
Grand Total = 30,950

To quote you I don't know where you do your accounting, but when you bet 500 and lose, you lose the full 500, not 450. And when you win the moneyline, you still lose 10% to the house for the win in the KC Moneyline.

I forgot about that 10% on the Monet line, thanks you! Didn't mean to bust your chops :D

Eh, no problem. You took it back just like you gave it. Obviously, you are not a Garcia Bronco fan.

Wow. What are the odds that I would place six bets for five different amounts for all of my money, and then precisely break even down to the dollar? I bet that's not a common occurrence.

Maybe I've had the wrong idea all along. I keep trying to end up with more money, and I end up with less. Now I just end up even-steven.

If all of my bets tend to be wrong, maybe I should just do the opposite, because then...that would be right. Where's Jerry - I need to run this idea by him.

BD - I won't be on top long. I will be happy with a top 5 finish. Especially after busting so early last year.

$20,661.20 instead of $20,260 that is listed. (A difference of roughly $400.00) All you need to check is the Colts game as I bet it all on that game....Thank you....
